We Got Amplified

Hired first as your band's assistant Adonis with bonus warmest manner Smile left me gooey, I couldn't resist it Fluent guitar fingers sparked my enamour Liasing with music gurus was realms apart From routine of home, single Mom of two Denham and Stella dominated my heart Guiltily adoring your skill relit my fuse Abuzz, boosted with paving your success Pay was good, job required alert all hours Your gigs displayed sensitive guitar caress Same arms strumming me, dreams' allowance Two absorbing years pumped by, our flirting Nothing beyond colleague banter, fluttered A wild bird caged, when we spoke, chest hurting You must have seen my calm stance shudder Caley, lead singer, recieved your larva glances Sparring, sharing, stage gelicnite, heat between Sent me psycho inside with torturous answers My head flamed with ways to change the scene Directives from my desperate heart removed her Caley departed for solo signed fame and fortune Becoming your leading lady, insane improvement Manic practice of your songs, I'd mastered the tunes Studio and stages welcomed my aroused aroma Kids freaked out to see me sing, their celebrity Our first kiss stung beyond dreams dim chroma Had to grab the mic stand, surprised, to steady me You embraced role of step dad to Stella and Denham Ten months of heaven left me pinching myself Booked out demand band on the rise, entire kingdom Roamed golden, until my mother needed my help Diagnosed with late stage lymphoma, given six months You tenderly held me, understood the wretched choice Interstate move meant no room for song performance Leaving you felt like my throat had extracted my voice We dined, ahead of imminent goodbye, opposite pier Sticky tape secured me, rib tight reason pleaded stay Wander to moon cascading baby powder beach, ears Made music from solo cricket penetrating our dismay Harbour's harlequin peach sparkle, distant lights on irked ink Gossiped my departure was years away, albeit next week " Let's make light at the end of this tunnel, what d'you think?" You wanted us to have a baby, I floated - unable to speak Our succumb to love's lurching purpose, spontaneity scorched Rise of my body's rhythms above your rigidity, face consumed In longing for me, propelled my energy as climax approached Damply hung reliant on your shoulder, my fickle faith renewed

I like your poem and that is quite a climax! Nine composers have set poems of mine to music, so you and your band are welcome if you find lyrics you like.

Cheers, Gorgeous! .... Rapt that it reads to you erotic. Obviously, we have to cancel our 'p' s and q's' on this Web site. It's kinda fun being a bit cryptic! Ta for support
